Do a boat search

Buying a new or used boat comes with risk. Check whether the boat, jet-ski, tinny or other type of watercraft you're buying has a security interest registered against it.
 

Change a vessel's details

If you've changed details on your vessel (not HIN), you need to inform Transport for NSW of the changes. Find out how at Service NSW.
